Over at the Garmin site I see one of their latest Auto GPS's has a built in dash cam.
I currently use a zūmo 660 1st generation.
I would seriously consider an upgrade to a zūmo with a forward facing camera if and when it becomes available. Putting a dash cam in a Motorcycle GPS seems like a no brainer.
Will Garmin do it?
Sounds cool now placement of the unit so you both can see???

I use the suction cup mount, mounted to the inside of the windshield peeking around the side with my go-pro.Attachment 15554 Look just behind the mirror. Works really well, and u even get a view of the reflection in the mirror.
Do you find that wind buffeting creates unwanted vibration? I'm thinking the windshield must be too flexible for a good base sometimes? Otherwise it looks like a good place for a mount and the reflection is a nice touch for the POV effect.
here's a better pic

+1 can't find the best position to control it and address battery issues or power issues. Helmet don't work for an All dayer. If you use remote control it takes from battery life.

i have a baggershield two piece on my 6 and there was no buffeting or flex. And the go-pro is really good at dealing with camera movement and canceling out any vibes.
Yes battery life is an issue. I just ordered all the goodies for power in the cubby and should be able to get power up to the camera from there, at least that's the plan
